Five French teenagers have been arrested after getting drunk, kidnapping a llama and, according to The Independent, "taking on him on a tour of Bordeaux via the city's tram system".

Very early last Thursday morning, the group were wandering around smashed when they came across a circus, closed down for the night. After first trying to lift a zebra - which didn't want to budge - they eventually found a llama. Who, it turns out, was down to party.

"It walked with us like a good dog would have," said one of the five, who after taking the llama around town were eventually caught when they tried to get it on a tram.

The llama - dubbed Serge - was tied to a lamppost while the teenagers were taken into custody. Because their crimes were so hilarious, a campaign has sprung up in France seeking their release, its Facebook page picking up over 800,000 "likes".
